There is a heated debate about whether Dr. Simeons was right about cosmetics decreasing the weight loss on the HCG diet, with some doctors saying that the cosmetics can’t penetrate the skin, something that wasn’t known back in the 1950’s.

According to our own non-scientific feedback from our customers, many women have used all of their regular cosmetics and still had great weight loss results, so we aren’t too picky about it and think you can have success regardless. But, if you really want to follow the original protocol in every possible way, then the above products meet Dr. Simeons specifications.

There’s some buzz online about low quality or even completely articifial oral HCG, especially product coming from off-shore. Many of our customers ask us about this. There are a couple of issues oral HCG product buyer needs to know about their oral HCG purchase:

1. Is the product safe?
2. Is it real?
3. Is it potent?

In the United States, the best way to determine credibility of oral HCG is through the cGMP certification of the manufacturing facility. cGMP stands for “Current Good Manufacturing Process” manufacturing facility.

Here’s how Wikipedia describes cGMP:

“Good manufacturing practice” or “GMP” is part of a quality system covering the manufacture and testing of active pharmaceutical ingredients, diagnostics, foods, pharmaceutical products, and medical devices. GMPs are guidelines that outline the aspects of production and testing that can impact the quality of a product. Many countries have legislated that pharmaceutical and medical device companies must follow GMP procedures, and have created their own GMP guidelines that correspond with their legislation.”

We are proud that our Oral HCG product is:

1. Of the highest possible potency
2. Pure HCG
3. Manufactured in the USA by a cMPG facility.
